1 1 4 NITIDELLA. 



larly marbled and spotted with white and yellow, chestnut or 

 chocolate-color; apex of spire often violet. Length, -6-'8 inch.

Shell narrowly oblong, with rather elevated spire, smooth, 

 shining ; yellowish white, with longitudinal chestnut reticulations ; 

 aperture white; outer lip broadly notched above.

Philippines. 



C. strigata, Reeve (fig. 26). appears to = this species. 

 C. FLOCCATA, Reeve. PI. 46, fig. 27. 



Shell cylindrical^ ovate, inflated, subtransparent, reticulated 

 with orange, promiscuously flaked with opaque white ; spire 

 rather obtuse, whorls convex, smooth ; aperture rather small, 



columella excavated, lip simple. Length, 13 mill.

 aperture broad, lip simple ; white with longitudinal waved 



chestnut lines. Length, 1 mill.

In shape and painting resembles C. Broderipii, Sowb., but 

 differs in sculpture. In C. cereaMs, Menke (fig. 29), the ribs are 

 better developed, but I do not believe that it is a distinct species.
